We chat endings - notably the Line Of Duty finale - and why we find them satisfying or disappointing.

On discovering the identity of H, Leon thinks that, “one breadcrumb in 6 seasons is not enough”. Is he right?

Just before the series finale, the TMBOK team are split as we hold Line of Duty under the spotlight.

Our theme of the week is collaborating with friends.

Whether it's financial or creative - or both - how to navigate the complications that can arise when mixing business with pleasure.

This week we talked about the New York Times documentary, Framing Britney Spears. Also the dark satirical comedy with a similar theme,  I Care A Lot (Prime Video). 

The theme of the week is how we create & build characters.

Quite a controversial topic but in an era of cancel culture, we chat about whether we can separate the art from the artist when those we admire or respect cross lines and boundaries. 

In this special part ii of Episode 19, we get to delve deep into the process of making a film.

We ask Leon about the hustle, raising finance, finding a director, casting and also about how to keep your sanity when undertaking the task of making an independent film.

This week we discuss how we feel about the bias of art. Do we switch off if the moral / political leaning of programme makers is different to our own.

Recommendations include: Bon Iver, Taylor Swift, The Concrete Cowboy, Law & Order SVU, The Detectives, Louis Theroux, Wonder, The Mauritanian...

This week we had a leisurely chat about the things we've watched and listened to plus Ahsan expresses his staunch views on Promising Young Woman.

It was worth the early start to chat with this week’s special guest F.J Santo about his work and to hear how he got his first break in NYC.

One for all fans of the animated world, Transformers, Batman, Anime and much more!

We also discuss Promising Young Woman (& that Variety review) plus Ahsan & Debs talk about Behind Her Eyes. 

On the agenda this week, we discuss - “it took innovation & foresight to truly stand out" in the top 10 of the most innovative film & film companies of 2021 (according to Fast Company).

Also, pre-production roles & routines including casting, writing vs. the business, being practical vs. being creative, juggling home life, finding your niche plus our usual weekly recommendations.

In a good news week, we chat about Leon’s project #TheChelseaCowboy starring #AlexPettyfer as #JohnBindon plus theme of the week: Curation vs. Algorithms.

With 24 being added to Star on Disney Plus, we discuss whether the 21-year old classic has aged well.
